Without further ado, here is the daily horoscope.
Good morning, friends!
Alrighty, so 3 out of 5 kids were sick over the weekend and yesterday, but the first to get sick is on the mend! Her fever has finally subsided and her appetite has returned, yay! It is very interesting that my family is dealing with this, because the Sun conjoined my natal Moon on Sunday, which can bring attention to health and vitality, especially in the family and with children. I am not able to record the podcast today, as I am caring for my toddler who needs me 24/7 right now and is currently laying on my lap while I type this!
Also, I have some announcements about March:
Starting tomorrow, March 1st, I will be taking some scheduled days off in the month—these days will seem like random days to you all, but they are actually hand-picked by the Universe! The days I am talking about are the ones that have no major aspects perfecting between the planets. On these days I usually just write about transits coming up or the transits of the Moon for the day, but I have decided that these days would be great days for me to rest and recharge from writing every day.
There are six days in the month of March that qualify: the 1st, 8th, 9th, 24th, 29th (which is also my son’s birthday!), and 31st. I am going to try this out and see how it goes. I will remind you all of the upcoming days off at the beginning of the week.
Currently, I write 6 days a week and it’s just not sustainable. Some weeks I do get ahead, but most weeks I am getting up at the buttcrack of Madonna to write the daily horoscope for that day. I both love it and hate it, LOL! I love doing it, but I am rebellious and I hate having to do it. What’s so funny too is that I created this schedule! So, it’s like I created the very cage that I don’t want to be in! This scenario is, of course, in my natal chart and it’s not the only time I’ve committed myself to do something and then felt trapped by my own commitment! I am convinced it’s a 6th house thing as well as a 12th house thing…my creative 5th house is ruled by the same planet that rules my 12th house of self-undoing and confinement, couple that with a Gemini rising, which is a person who wants to do 20 things at the same time and it’s a recipe for burnout! Not that I’ve ever burnt the candle at both ends and then inevitably had to drop one or all of what I was trying to do from exhaustion, oh no, never! *sarcastic snort
Writing the daily horoscope has been a very enlightening experience that has led to much self-reflection and growth and I am so grateful for it! I have discovered things about myself that I was unaware of before.
So, in an effort to learn from my past mistakes and be a wiser, more mature version of myself, I am scheduling days off for recuperation and recharge. Thanks for understanding and I hope this means you’ll continue to stick around for the daily horoscope because it’s about to get real y’all! March is a HUGE astrological month!
Okay, let’s get into… the astrology
Today’s post is going to be a bit of an overview for March, as the astrology going down in March is pivotal, but I did want to mention that tonight the Moon egresses out of the sign of Gemini and ingresses into her home sign of Cancer at 9:39 pm ET! She will square Venus and Jupiter on March 1st and then Venus and Jupiter will conjoin on March 2nd in Aries. I think this is a positive thing, as the two benefics are getting together in the sky with a dignified Moon, indicating family happiness, pleasant pastimes, and good health. I am really hoping for that last one in my own family unit, LOL!
Here’s a timeline of the major astrological events happening in March 2023:
March 2023
March 2nd: Mercury ingresses into Pisces
Venus conjoins Jupiter in Aries
March 6th: Sun sextile Uranus
March 7th: Saturn ingresses into Pisces
Full Moon 16° Virgo 40’
March 11th: Mercury in Pisces sextile Uranus in Taurus
Venus in Aries sextile Mars in Gemini
March 14th: Mars in Gemini square Neptune in Pisces (last one of the three-hit series during Mars’ time in Gemini)
Last Quarter Moon 24° Sagittarius 13’
March 15th: Sun in Pisces conjoins Neptune in Pisces
March 16th: Venus ingresses into Taurus
Mercury in Pisces conjoins Neptune in Pisces
Venus in Aries square Pluto in Capricorn
Sun and Mercury in Pisces square Mars in Gemini
March 17th: Mercury cazimi as the Sun and Mercury conjoin in Pisces
Venus Taurus sextile Saturn in Pisces
March 18th: Mercury in Pisces sextile Pluto in Capricorn
Mercury ingresses into Aries
March 20th: Sun in Pisces sextile Pluto in Capricorn
Sun ingresses into Aries
March 21st: New Moon 0° Aries 49’
March 23rd: Pluto ingresses into Aquarius
March 25th: Mars ingresses into Cancer
March 28th: Mercury conjoins Jupiter in Aries
First Quarter Moon 8° Cancer 08’
March 30th: Venus conjoins Uranus in Taurus
Mars in Cancer trine Saturn in Pisces
As you can see from the bolded print in the above timeline, March 16th is a BIG day! It’s right in the middle of Saturn and Pluto’s ingresses into Pisces and Aquarius, respectively, and contains dynamic and challenging squares from both the Sun and Mercury to Mars, plus a Venus/Pluto square! So, the 9 days leading up to the 16th, starting with Saturn’s ingress into Pisces on March 7th and the week after the 16th, which is punctuated with Pluto’s ingress into Aquarius on the 23rd, is going to be the peak period. It’s hard to say that though because there is so much going on in the month of March this year!
We have two outer planets ingressing into new signs! Plus, Venus, Mercury, and Mars ingressing into new signs, which is not really new, but it’s still notable, especially Mars since he will be finally leaving Gemini and entering into the sign of his fall, Cancer. I know that those who have been affected by Mars in Gemini are happy to have him leave (*raises hand)!
Let’s move on to the card for the day:
What is the guidance for today?
XI Strength
On this card, we see a woman, naked, and sitting in a green field amongst many animals. A raccoon rests on her leg, and a rabbit sits under her gentle palm. She beckons a wolf with a glowing red stone in her hand. In the foreground, there is a little pond with a duck, a snake, a scorpion, and two large birds. A spider sits in its web between two branches. In the background, there is a tree with green sprouts all over it and a lion and a bull sit at the base. Behind the tree in the sky is the Moon.
Just look at this woman! Wow! She’s like Snow White, but naked and with red hair! It’s like you can almost hear her singing to these wild beasts! They all feel comfortable around her because she’s calm and peaceful. She doesn’t scare them with sudden movements, a loud voice, and scattered energy. She is grounded, secure in herself, and patiently waits for the animals to come to her.
This card is about using your inner strength to ground yourself so that you too can be patient, kind, and secure in your actions. It’s about letting others come to you on their terms because they feel safe around you. They can trust that you aren’t going to snap, bite, or lash out.
As the card for the day, I feel that it speaks pretty loudly that right now is a time to ground your energy, and be strong and patient—the things you seek in your life will come when they are ready. Keep your arms and heart open.

Until Thursday,
